(1888PressRelease) December 12, 2012 - SPM is the art and science of monitoring and managing business security status by orchestrating process, people, and technological resources to achieve security objectives. This involves identifying business critical IT assets, evaluating their risks based on vulnerabilities and the impact of potential threats, and mapping results directly to controls to initiate appropriate countermeasures.

Powered by Rapid7's Nexpose vulnerability management technology, which scans physical and virtual networks, databases, operating systems and web applications, Aegify is a complete integration of eGestalt's HIPAA and PCI compliance tool, SecureGRC, with the added benefit of SPM compliance. The software was designed so customers can import data from other standard vulnerability scanners.

Aegify can automatically map security vulnerabilities to compliance mandates. The tool can import data from other standard vulnerability scanners in the industry, as well.

The cloud-based Aegify engine is driven in large part by eGestalt's flagship product Aegify SecureGRC, a unified security and compliance management tool that includes all of the necessary security and IT-GRC functionality required to gain control and improve compliance levels across more than 400 regulations.
